Snake Uses Amazing Camouflage to Lure a Lizard to Its Death

In the Namib Desert, a Peringuey's adder plays a deadly game of hide-and-seek with an unsuspecting lizard. The snake's coloring allows it to blend almost imperceptibly into the desert sand, and it uses its tail to mimic an insect's movement, catching the attention of a nearby lizard. With its natural camouflage, the venomous snake can strike down its prey in moments.
